Seberang Perai Tengah district police chief Shafee Abd Samad said police were tracking down the five suspects – four men and a woman – who are believed to still be in the state.
“Investigations show that the five suspects knew the murder victim. However, we have yet to establish the motive for the murder,” he said when contacted today.
